100 intergers isn't the best scale - realistically Wota and Eclipse are like 99.999999 and sbrugby etc are 99.99999999999999999999999999999 but massage the figures a bit.

According to sharkscope 1/3 of players are winners (possibly marginal), this may or may not apply to cash games. But it makes sense intuitively, the worst players donate so much to mediocre players that the sharks cannot win all that money from the mediocre players.

Well according to OPR im in the 98th percentile online, top 500 in the world for online mtts
I feel I am an incredible live cash player, and people who play with me all the time feel the same
I feel I am decent at online cash and I suppose I could make money playing, but I hate playing online cash cause the swings are too gay compared to the games I crush

I'd say 90% of people on this forum are losing or break even (most of which don't know it)

edit: i guess I could add that I am horrible at limit, and horrible at omaha (unless its in a $1500 home game with used car salesman/drug dealers)

look at the #s realistically.... No way more than 2 or 3% of players are long term winners, NO FUCKING WAY!

If 10% were long-term winners that means that every single table you sit at has 1 winning player at it. Even if the 25 or so higher limit tables that are going have 6 or 7 winners each, no way it offsets the 1,000s of 5/10 and lower limit tables (I won't even count anything below $1 limits and $25NL).

Since I've been playing live and online, I see people who appear to be winners come and go, what happened? they went broke. Live you get to know them, you see them going busto, and know it. you see them go from 5/10 up to 50/100, then you see them with their final $500 playing 2/4.

Anyone who is playing poker professionally talk to me after 4 or 5 years of it, when you've had 2 or 3 three month streaks of dead cards. It took me 2 years for my first one of those and I've had 1 other since, those are the times that you show you what type of poker player you are.


In the longrun 97% of players lose money, 3% or so win money, and the casino's just gobble up 90% of all the $$$.

1. Probably 0-85% in the respective games that they play. For example, I might consider myself 85% for full ring, but in 6max or HU maybe 65%.

2. 85% for online full ring nl cash games.

3. 90-95% hopefully (for full ring nl).
